Experience
and president of the software company Chromix. Chromix
provides a phenomenal set of tools specifically aimed at color
management and image fidelity. As flexography competes
globally with other print processes, programs like ColorThink
and Curve2 have become essential to calibration and pro-
cess control.
It is Steve’s software that links everything Samworth will be
talking about to what Al, Robb and Jay are trying to imple-
ment. Steve is unique in that he not only can talk about color
management at a strategic level, but he can delve into the
smallest detail from ICC profile structures to what color infor-
mation gets loaded onto the video card. No matter how much
you know about color management, after listening to Steve
you will know much more.
Another software tool, almost as well known as ColorThink,
is Adobe CS5. While many of us use Illustrator, PhotoShop
and the rest of the CS5 suite of applications on a daily basis,
how often do you think to yourself; “I really need to get some
training.” I bet there is so much about these programs that
I just don’t know. ” With that in mind, we will be offering an
entire session devoted to Adobe CS5 Tips and Tricks. Kelly
McCathran is an Adobe Certified Trainer. She knows Adobe
CS5 inside and out, but most importantly, she is a wonderful
speaker. I met Kelly about four years ago and I thought, “If I
ever get the chance, I want her to speak at the FTA.” T his ses-
sion alone will be worth the price of admission.

Richard Black will be the first speaker of the conference. He
is one of those speakers who just does a great job time after
time. He will be talking about tools to help you control spot
colors on press. Considering the topic, I thought he should
follow Samworth, but that would just be cruel.
